Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: War Footing | Allen Jackson Now | March 3, 2026

Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
00:00:04.262 --> 00:00:06.398
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:06.398 --> 00:00:07.833
I want to begin tonight by putting the attack on iran's
00:00:07.833 --> 00:00:10.402
Leadership in context, recalling some often cited history.
00:00:10.402 --> 00:00:14.873
When world war two ended,
00:00:14.873 --> 00:00:16.308
There was a lot of soul searching about
00:00:16.308 --> 00:00:18.009
Why so many people didn't try to stop adolf hitler.
00:00:18.009 --> 00:00:21.046
Some people said they didn't know.
00:00:21.046 --> 00:00:23.148
Others said they were just following orders.
00:00:23.148 --> 00:00:25.517
Millions of others, they simply stayed silent.
00:00:25.517 --> 00:00:29.054
Well, this time, when it came to understanding
00:00:29.054 --> 00:00:31.022
The evil being flaunted by the ayatollah khomeini,
00:00:31.022 --> 00:00:34.326
There was a lot of talk, a lot of hand-wringing,
00:00:34.326 --> 00:00:36.928
But no one and no country
00:00:36.928 --> 00:00:38.697
Was willing to stand up and do something about it,
00:00:38.697 --> 00:00:41.366
Even when they knew what was going on inside iran.
00:00:41.366 --> 00:00:44.202
And after they heard very clearly
00:00:44.202 --> 00:00:46.538
That khomeini had killed tens of thousands of people
00:00:46.538 --> 00:00:49.107
For peacefully demonstrating for a change in leadership
00:00:49.107 --> 00:00:52.477
Until the united states stepped
00:00:53.111 --> 00:00:54.613
Up, led by the commander in chief, donald trump.
00:00:54.613 --> 00:00:57.749
When operation epic fury was launched
00:00:57.749 --> 00:01:00.018
In a two pronged attack with israel.
00:01:00.018 --> 00:01:02.320
Most sane people around the globe cheered.
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.990
Their cheers got louder when they heard
00:01:04.990 --> 00:01:06.858
That the most evil man in modern history,
00:01:06.858 --> 00:01:09.161
The ayatollah ali khamenei, had been killed.
00:01:09.161 --> 00:01:12.230
People in tehran came out, this time
00:01:12.230 --> 00:01:14.199
Without the threat of being shot.
00:01:14.199 --> 00:01:16.101
And in tel aviv, london, los angeles, even in new york city,
00:01:16.101 --> 00:01:20.772
The citizens of iran, they've been clamoring
00:01:20.772 --> 00:01:22.874
For better leadership for a long time,
00:01:22.874 --> 00:01:25.043
Even as tens of
00:01:25.043 --> 00:01:26.211
Thousands of them were tortured, hanged, shot and killed.
00:01:26.211 --> 00:01:29.247
But they didn't stay quiet.
00:01:29.848 --> 00:01:31.249
Nor did the people of israel who suffered at the hands of
00:01:31.249 --> 00:01:33.919
Iran's most terrorist partners for many decades.
00:01:33.919 --> 00:01:37.923
In washington, people from both parties said
00:01:37.923 --> 00:01:40.225
They want to stop terrorism.
00:01:40.225 --> 00:01:42.093
But it was only president trump who did something about it.
00:01:42.093 --> 00:01:45.330
I've told you often, and
00:01:45.864 --> 00:01:46.831
I believe that god is moving in the earth.
00:01:46.831 --> 00:01:49.100
It's not just history, folks.
00:01:49.100 --> 00:01:50.535
He's doing it today in the eyes of our jewish friends.
00:01:50.535 --> 00:01:53.805
The timing of these coordinated
00:01:53.805 --> 00:01:55.140
Attacks against the ruthless, tyrannical regime in iran.
00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.910
It's not coincidental.
00:01:58.910 --> 00:02:00.545
Jews around the world have been observing the holiday of turin,
00:02:00.545 --> 00:02:04.449
Which commemorates
00:02:04.449 --> 00:02:05.550
The events surrounding the book of esther in the bible.
00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:08.620
The book of esther is set during
00:02:08.620 --> 00:02:10.021
The persian empire under king osiris,
00:02:10.021 --> 00:02:12.624
And it tells of how a day was determined
00:02:12.624 --> 00:02:14.492
When the jews throughout the persian empire
00:02:14.492 --> 00:02:16.595
Would be murdered on the appointed day.
00:02:16.595 --> 00:02:19.064
The king was really manipulated into that edict
00:02:19.064 --> 00:02:21.399
By a trusted advisor in his empire,
00:02:21.399 --> 00:02:23.201
Who hated the jews by the name of heyman
00:02:23.201 --> 00:02:26.538
Is a high ranking government official.
00:02:26.538 --> 00:02:28.173
Heyman initially became enraged
00:02:28.173 --> 00:02:30.008
When a jewish man named mordecai wouldn't bow to him,
00:02:30.008 --> 00:02:33.144
Because mordecai would only bow to the god of his forefathers,
00:02:33.144 --> 00:02:36.081
The god of abraham, isaac, and jacob.
00:02:36.081 --> 00:02:38.717
When he learned that mordecai was jewish,
00:02:38.717 --> 00:02:40.719
Heyman convinces the king to issue a decree
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.854
To kill all the jews in the empire.
00:02:42.854 --> 00:02:44.990
All because mordecai wouldn't bow to him.
00:02:44.990 --> 00:02:47.826
So it sounds a bit familiar.
00:02:47.826 --> 00:02:49.861
Radical islam teaches that anyone outside their belief
00:02:49.861 --> 00:02:52.497
System is an infidel, someone unworthy of dignity or freedom.
00:02:52.497 --> 00:02:57.235
This is the worldview driving iran's extremist
00:02:57.235 --> 00:02:59.671
Regime and terrorist groups, hamas and isis.
00:02:59.671 --> 00:03:02.941
A belief that non-muslims
00:03:02.941 --> 00:03:04.476
Must be controlled, silenced or punished.
00:03:04.476 --> 00:03:07.512
What also sounds familiar is hate
00:03:08.246 --> 00:03:09.981
For the jewish people today in the 21st century.
00:03:09.981 --> 00:03:13.251
This hate isn't
00:03:13.251 --> 00:03:14.352
Driven by politics or economics or even evaluations
00:03:14.352 --> 00:03:16.988
Of governments.
00:03:16.988 --> 00:03:18.156
The hatred of the jewish people is driven by a spirit.
00:03:18.156 --> 00:03:20.525
It's the spirit of antichrist.
00:03:20.525 --> 00:03:22.560
It's the same spirit that is fomenting
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.329
Hatred for people like you and me.
00:03:24.329 --> 00:03:27.399
In the book of esther.
00:03:27.866 --> 00:03:28.833
The edict was issued
00:03:28.833 --> 00:03:29.834
That the jewish people were to be destroyed.
00:03:29.834 --> 00:03:32.170
And there really was no resolution to that,
00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:34.072
Except that god had placed a new queen
00:03:34.072 --> 00:03:36.308
On the throne of persia, who just happened to be jewish.
00:03:36.308 --> 00:03:39.678
Her name was esther.
00:03:40.145 --> 00:03:41.980
Her jewish identity wasn't known.
00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:43.915
She seemed to be in a safe place.
00:03:43.915 --> 00:03:45.550
After all, she was the queen.
00:03:45.550 --> 00:03:48.053
And the more the same mordecai that i mentioned a moment ago
00:03:48.053 --> 00:03:51.423
Had helped to reassure her.
00:03:51.423 --> 00:03:52.691
He sent a message to the palace and said, who knows, perhaps
00:03:52.691 --> 00:03:55.860
God put you in that place for such a time as this.
00:03:55.860 --> 00:03:59.030
I bet you've heard that phrase.
00:03:59.664 --> 00:04:00.765
It comes from scripture.
00:04:00.765 --> 00:04:02.500
And he says to her,
00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:03.468
Don't think that you can hide in the palace.
00:04:03.468 --> 00:04:05.470
God will deliver his people
00:04:05.470 --> 00:04:06.805
Whether he does it with you or without you.
00:04:06.805 --> 00:04:09.407
He asked her to speak to the king.
00:04:09.407 --> 00:04:11.710
But here's the dilemma in that culture,
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:13.445
If you approach the king without being invited,
00:04:13.445 --> 00:04:15.413
And if he didn't welcome you, you'd be executed.
00:04:15.413 --> 00:04:18.850
You see, ancient near eastern monarchs,
00:04:18.850 --> 00:04:20.585
They didn't believe in due process.
00:04:20.585 --> 00:04:22.787
Esther very courageously agreed to approach
00:04:22.787 --> 00:04:25.123
And ask for mercy for her people.
00:04:25.123 --> 00:04:27.425
She proceeded to invite the king and the trusted
00:04:27.425 --> 00:04:29.861
Advisor, the evil hayman, to a banquet, a feast.
00:04:29.861 --> 00:04:33.398
The banquet proceedings didn't go well for him.
00:04:33.398 --> 00:04:36.000
His plot was discovered.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.569
The king immediately ordered his execution,
00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:39.537
And the jews across the empire were given the right
00:04:39.537 --> 00:04:42.207
To defend themselves and to avoid certain destruction.
00:04:42.207 --> 00:04:44.843
Well, i think the story of esther helps us understand
00:04:45.910 --> 00:04:48.279
What's happening today in iran, which is historic persia,
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.784
The evil ayatollah in iran, who for decades shouted death
00:04:52.784 --> 00:04:55.887
To israel, vowed to wipe israel off the map.
00:04:55.887 --> 00:04:59.023
Well he's dead.
00:04:59.023 --> 00:05:00.225
The modern day version of haman has been addressed
00:05:00.225 --> 00:05:03.628
And all over israel, with israeli
00:05:03.628 --> 00:05:05.163
Warplanes roaring overhead and missiles
00:05:05.163 --> 00:05:07.198
Launched from iran streaking across the sky.
00:05:07.198 --> 00:05:10.068
Jewish families gathered together,
00:05:10.068 --> 00:05:11.870
Dressed up in costumes, singing, dancing, eating special
00:05:11.870 --> 00:05:15.306
Purim donuts and treats and reading the book of esther.
00:05:15.306 --> 00:05:19.210
I'll say it again.
00:05:19.644 --> 00:05:20.845
God's moving in the earth,
00:05:20.845 --> 00:05:22.514
And that's a good reason for all of us to celebrate.
00:05:22.514 --> 00:05:25.884
The fight is far from over, but we can see the light.
00:05:25.884 --> 00:05:28.953
And in a moment we'll hear from our friend
00:05:28.953 --> 00:05:30.588
In israel and a member of the idf.
00:05:30.588 --> 00:05:32.590
Yeah. air pinto. i'll be right back.
00:05:32.590 --> 00:05:42.002
Yeah. air pinto. i'll be right back.
00:05:42.002 --> 00:05:45.604
President trump and israel's prime minister worked together
00:05:46.739 --> 00:05:49.575
To launch the operation against iran.
00:05:49.575 --> 00:05:51.610
And it's working.
00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:52.978
A massive show of force that left
00:05:52.978 --> 00:05:54.580
The ayatollah and his team flat footed.
00:05:54.580 --> 00:05:57.183
And it showed with video proof shattering iran's military.
00:05:57.183 --> 00:06:01.320
There are no better fighting forces
00:06:01.320 --> 00:06:02.721
Than those of israel and the united states.
00:06:02.721 --> 00:06:05.024
With that, i want to bring in our israeli
00:06:05.024 --> 00:06:06.692
Television partner and an idf soldier, joshua pinto.
00:06:06.692 --> 00:06:10.162
Welcome back, sir.
00:06:10.162 --> 00:06:13.032
Well, it's great to be here.
00:06:13.032 --> 00:06:13.966
And you said it perfectly, alan.
00:06:13.966 --> 00:06:16.101
That was a show of force and a coordinated offensive
00:06:16.101 --> 00:06:21.040
That really crippled all of the ability,
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:22.975
The major ability of the islamic republic of iran to conduct
00:06:22.975 --> 00:06:27.146
A massive attack against these led
00:06:27.146 --> 00:06:30.149
And also against the united states bases in this region.
00:06:30.149 --> 00:06:34.053
Well,
00:06:34.286 --> 00:06:35.254
100,000 idf reservists have been called up.
00:06:35.254 --> 00:06:37.490
Tell us what it's like on the ground where you are.
00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:39.925
You're.
00:06:39.925 --> 00:06:42.595
So basically on saturday morning at eight.
00:06:42.595 --> 00:06:46.499
The whole country went from a normal routine,
00:06:46.499 --> 00:06:50.202
From preparations for the jewish holiday of whim,
00:06:50.202 --> 00:06:55.040
Which is actually today,
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.976
And then into a state of alert, meaning everything is canceled.
00:06:56.976 --> 00:07:01.280
No gatherings are allowed, the schools are canceled, and
00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:07.152
Only essential work personnel can exit the house either.
00:07:07.152 --> 00:07:10.723
If you want to buy groceries or if you need to go and work
00:07:10.723 --> 00:07:14.727
In a medical facility or, of course, security,
00:07:14.727 --> 00:07:17.796
You know, professions like the idf and stuff like that.
00:07:17.796 --> 00:07:20.533
So every day i wake up or just
00:07:20.533 --> 00:07:24.870
Hear the sirens alarms around, i would say 15 times a day,
00:07:26.005 --> 00:07:29.942
Imagine that 15 times a day that i get a notification
00:07:29.942 --> 00:07:33.779
On my phone
00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:34.980
That tells me soon a missile will be entering your area,
00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:38.817
And then when the missile comes near, you have a sirens, alarms
00:07:38.817 --> 00:07:43.055
Of all the community within the range of the strike
00:07:43.055 --> 00:07:47.059
Of this missile.
00:07:47.059 --> 00:07:48.160
And that gives me between 30s to a minute and a half
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.264
To seek shelter, either in a bomb shelter in my house.
00:07:52.264 --> 00:07:56.569
If you have a bomb shelter in your house for me,
00:07:56.569 --> 00:07:59.238
My baby's room is actually the bomb shelter.
00:07:59.238 --> 00:08:02.041
So we have to get all of us into this tiny room
00:08:02.041 --> 00:08:05.644
And stay there for between 10 to 15 minutes.
00:08:05.644 --> 00:08:09.348
So this is what's happening.
00:08:09.348 --> 00:08:10.950
And on top of that, as you said,
00:08:10.950 --> 00:08:13.285
Hundreds of hundreds of thousand additional
00:08:13.285 --> 00:08:16.622
Idf reserves, meaning civilians that need to live their lives,
00:08:16.622 --> 00:08:19.858
Their families and join the idf, that's not their normal job.
00:08:19.858 --> 00:08:23.996
But because of the situation,
00:08:23.996 --> 00:08:26.365
We are needing to protect our borders
00:08:26.365 --> 00:08:28.701
Against terrorist attacks
00:08:28.701 --> 00:08:30.002
From palestinians in judea and samaria,
00:08:30.002 --> 00:08:32.504
From hamas in the gaza strip.
00:08:32.504 --> 00:08:34.039
That, by the way, is still launching attacks
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.308
Against these are they didn't stop fighting us.
00:08:36.308 --> 00:08:38.611
And now hezbollah have joined the battle alongside iran
00:08:38.611 --> 00:08:42.481
And have launched multiple suicide drones
00:08:42.481 --> 00:08:45.150
At israel, including three this morning.
00:08:45.150 --> 00:08:48.153
So it's not they're not bowing at all.
00:08:48.153 --> 00:08:51.090
If you can say that.
00:08:51.090 --> 00:08:52.424
Well, the ayatollah made it clear
00:08:53.192 --> 00:08:54.827
That he wanted to knock israel
00:08:54.827 --> 00:08:55.995
And the united states off the face of the earth.
00:08:55.995 --> 00:08:58.597
Nevertheless, we've still got politicians
00:08:58.597 --> 00:09:00.599
And some media who naively believe that
00:09:00.599 --> 00:09:03.569
Iran was just trying
00:09:03.569 --> 00:09:04.637
To develop a nuclear program for peaceful means.
00:09:04.637 --> 00:09:07.840
That seems unbelievable.
00:09:08.374 --> 00:09:09.975
Yeah, you know better, don't you?
00:09:09.975 --> 00:09:13.479
Yeah. no, definitely.
00:09:13.979 --> 00:09:15.314
It's like,
00:09:15.314 --> 00:09:16.749
How can you develop a nuclear bomb for peaceful means?
00:09:16.749 --> 00:09:20.486
It sounds like something from a comedy movie.
00:09:20.486 --> 00:09:23.722
And also, iran is developing intercontinental ballistic
00:09:23.722 --> 00:09:27.359
Missiles.
00:09:27.359 --> 00:09:28.560
Means that these missiles can reach different continents.
00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:32.731
So from the middle east,
00:09:32.731 --> 00:09:34.333
They can reach the united states of america.
00:09:34.333 --> 00:09:36.201
That's the goal.
00:09:36.201 --> 00:09:37.503
And then on top of that, they are funding terrorism.
00:09:37.503 --> 00:09:41.373
The root is to hamas.
00:09:41.874 --> 00:09:45.177
So add all of this together.
00:09:45.177 --> 00:09:46.945
And on top of that just look at the parliament
00:09:46.945 --> 00:09:50.049
Where they are marching, shouting death to america.
00:09:50.049 --> 00:09:54.119
That too is that so?
00:09:54.119 --> 00:09:55.554
They are telling you, you, the world, us
00:09:55.554 --> 00:09:58.190
That they want to destroy us.
00:09:58.190 --> 00:10:00.225
They are investing money
00:10:00.225 --> 00:10:01.727
And developing the weapons in which they can do it.
00:10:01.727 --> 00:10:04.763
And still some people, some politicians,
00:10:04.763 --> 00:10:06.899
Some nations do not believe that they really want to do it.
00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:10.969
Well, for president trump and benjamin
00:10:11.770 --> 00:10:13.505
Netanyahu, we're witnessing the greatest peace movement
00:10:13.505 --> 00:10:16.542
In modern history.
00:10:16.542 --> 00:10:17.976
Secretary of state rubio explained
00:10:17.976 --> 00:10:20.045
Why attacking now is so important.
00:10:20.045 --> 00:10:22.347
Listen to his comments.
00:10:22.347 --> 00:10:24.850
There absolutely
00:10:24.850 --> 00:10:25.851
Was an imminent threat, and the imminent threat
00:10:25.851 --> 00:10:27.119
Was that we knew that if iran was attacked
00:10:27.119 --> 00:10:29.588
And we believe they would be attacked,
00:10:29.588 --> 00:10:31.356
That they would immediately come after us,
00:10:31.356 --> 00:10:33.192
And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow
00:10:33.192 --> 00:10:36.328
Before we responded,
00:10:36.328 --> 00:10:37.429
Because the department of war assessed
00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:39.498
That if we did that,
00:10:39.498 --> 00:10:40.733
If we waited for them to hit us first after they were attacked
00:10:40.733 --> 00:10:43.102
And by someone else, israel attacked them.
00:10:43.102 --> 00:10:45.070
They hit us first and we waited for them to hit us.
00:10:45.070 --> 00:10:47.873
We would suffer more casualties and more deaths.
00:10:47.873 --> 00:10:50.109
We worked proactively in a defensive way
00:10:50.109 --> 00:10:52.478
To prevent them from inflicting higher damage.
00:10:52.478 --> 00:10:54.680
Isn't it true that the israelis have seen
00:10:55.547 --> 00:10:57.516
The evidence of what rubio is talking about for years?
00:10:57.516 --> 00:11:01.854
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:02.187 --> 00:11:02.988
The only way to prevent
00:11:02.988 --> 00:11:05.924
A massive attack on our forces, especially if you're israel
00:11:05.924 --> 00:11:09.695
With a tiny country, is to preempt the attack
00:11:09.695 --> 00:11:13.899
To make sure that the enemy does not have the capabilities
00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:17.369
To launch their attacks against you.
00:11:17.369 --> 00:11:19.438
So what we've seen in this is very encouraging
00:11:19.438 --> 00:11:22.474
In the last few days is the ability of the joint
00:11:22.474 --> 00:11:27.880
Intelligence of the cia and the israeli mossad.
00:11:27.880 --> 00:11:31.884
Together, they were able to pinpoint the location of 40
00:11:31.884 --> 00:11:37.556
Leaders of the islamic revolutionary guards together,
00:11:37.556 --> 00:11:40.659
Including that supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei
00:11:40.659 --> 00:11:44.296
In one location and in 40s
00:11:44.296 --> 00:11:48.500
40s of the opening blow of this war.
00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:53.138
All of the 40 high ranking leaders,
00:11:53.138 --> 00:11:55.474
Including ayatollah ali khamenei, were terminated
00:11:55.474 --> 00:11:59.378
In the major blow that started this war.
00:11:59.378 --> 00:12:02.581
So this just proves the superiority of the intelligence
00:12:02.581 --> 00:12:07.085
Capabilities of israel and of the united states of america.
00:12:07.085 --> 00:12:11.123
Then both of us together.
00:12:11.123 --> 00:12:13.058
It's just like an amazing show of force.
00:12:13.058 --> 00:12:16.094
And it proves that.
00:12:16.094 --> 00:12:17.729
I mean,
00:12:17.729 --> 00:12:18.964
The cooperation between israel and the united states is strong.
00:12:18.964 --> 00:12:22.734
No matter how many people and politicians are trying to,
00:12:22.734 --> 00:12:26.004
You know, break us apart.
00:12:26.004 --> 00:12:27.739
So it's really nice to see that.
00:12:27.739 --> 00:12:29.241
And i'm a spiritual level alum again and again.
00:12:29.241 --> 00:12:32.578
I can feel it and i can see it.
00:12:32.578 --> 00:12:34.413
He's the reason that myself as a jew and my family members
00:12:34.413 --> 00:12:39.318
And the entire nation of israel are here.
00:12:39.318 --> 00:12:41.520
And that's not because of our idf.
00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:43.722
That's not because we're smart.
00:12:43.722 --> 00:12:45.424
It's because god is faithful to his promises
00:12:45.424 --> 00:12:49.194
In the past, and he's faithful to his promises now.
00:12:49.194 --> 00:12:53.198
So if you need any kind of encouragement,
00:12:53.198 --> 00:12:56.134
Guys, whenever you're watching from, just look towards israel
00:12:56.134 --> 00:12:59.605
Against all odds, we are still here.
00:12:59.605 --> 00:13:02.307
Just because god wants you to see that he's faithful.
00:13:02.307 --> 00:13:06.111
That is such a good message for all of us.
00:13:07.012 --> 00:13:09.047
Yeah. thank you.
00:13:09.047 --> 00:13:10.582
China buys 80% of iran's oil while the iranians
00:13:10.582 --> 00:13:14.019
Are buying supposedly advanced military equipment from china.
00:13:14.019 --> 00:13:18.357
But their equipment is proven
00:13:18.357 --> 00:13:19.524
To be inferior to the us weapons.
00:13:19.524 --> 00:13:22.027
At least that's the reports we're getting.
00:13:22.027 --> 00:13:23.428
Is that what you're seeing?
00:13:23.428 --> 00:13:26.331
It has completely.
00:13:26.331 --> 00:13:27.599
And i think we see it again and again that the anti rockets
00:13:27.599 --> 00:13:32.871
Anti planes anti-drone system of the islamic republic of iran.
00:13:32.871 --> 00:13:38.610
We're not able to down any airplane.
00:13:38.610 --> 00:13:42.514
Okay.
00:13:42.514 --> 00:13:43.649
So the only plane that was down according to my reports
00:13:43.649 --> 00:13:46.652
Now is one plane that crashed because of friendly fire.
00:13:46.652 --> 00:13:51.390
The pilot is safe and he landed in the allied forces side.
00:13:51.390 --> 00:13:56.428
And on top of that, a drones.
00:13:56.428 --> 00:13:58.864
A few drones were down, but that was also expected.
00:13:58.864 --> 00:14:02.701
But thank god all the antiaircraft
00:14:02.701 --> 00:14:06.471
Defensive systems,
00:14:06.471 --> 00:14:07.806
Or the majority of them were hit in the opening blow.
00:14:07.806 --> 00:14:11.043
So that was the plan to strike the antiaircraft
00:14:11.043 --> 00:14:14.413
Defensive systems, to strike the top leadership,
00:14:14.413 --> 00:14:17.616
And then the communication abilities of the regime in iran.
00:14:17.616 --> 00:14:21.787
So what we're seeing now is that all the islamic republic
00:14:21.787 --> 00:14:26.191
Military personnel are just acting on draw orders,
00:14:26.191 --> 00:14:30.262
Meaning stuff that they received in the past, launching fire
00:14:30.262 --> 00:14:33.265
Against multiple nations, including gulf states
00:14:33.265 --> 00:14:36.868
That were not part of the campaign against them.
00:14:36.868 --> 00:14:40.138
But now we see that they are basically uniting
00:14:40.138 --> 00:14:43.275
All the arab states
00:14:43.275 --> 00:14:44.376
That were neutral, together with israel
00:14:44.376 --> 00:14:46.678
And with the united states of america.
00:14:46.678 --> 00:14:48.580
And i hope
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:49.848
That this will materialize into more cooperation in the future.
00:14:49.848 --> 00:14:53.518
Between israel, between saudi arabia,
00:14:53.518 --> 00:14:56.154
Between qatar, between bahrain, between all of these nations
00:14:56.154 --> 00:14:59.391
That were kind of like,
00:14:59.391 --> 00:15:00.625
I don't know if i'm with iran or i'm with the united states.
00:15:00.625 --> 00:15:04.262
So maybe now we'll see something that they choose a side.
00:15:04.262 --> 00:15:08.567
Amen. we are here.
00:15:09.001 --> 00:15:10.168
Please stand by for another segment.
00:15:10.168 --> 00:15:11.670
We need to take a short break. i'll be right back.
00:15:11.670 --> 00:15:21.005
We need to take a short break. i'll be right back.
00:15:21.005 --> 00:15:25.117
We're back now with a good
00:15:25.684 --> 00:15:26.885
Friend and a member of israel's idf, ion pinto.
00:15:26.885 --> 00:15:30.889
When this attack began, iran started firing
00:15:30.889 --> 00:15:33.358
Back at any country within reach.
00:15:33.358 --> 00:15:35.260
They aimed at airports and hotels
00:15:35.260 --> 00:15:36.895
And the most innocent people they could.
00:15:36.895 --> 00:15:38.964
They also claimed they were going to shut down
00:15:38.964 --> 00:15:40.732
Passage through the strait of hormuz.
00:15:40.732 --> 00:15:42.968
Except that every one of their ships
00:15:42.968 --> 00:15:44.369
Had already been destroyed.
00:15:44.369 --> 00:15:46.238
Even after the last attack, the prime
00:15:46.238 --> 00:15:47.973
Minister said they went right back to reloading.
00:15:47.973 --> 00:15:51.243
Listen to his comments.
00:15:51.243 --> 00:15:53.178
They started building new sites, new places,
00:15:53.178 --> 00:15:56.548
Underground bunkers
00:15:56.548 --> 00:15:58.150
That would make their ballistic missile program
00:15:58.150 --> 00:16:00.585
And their atomic bomb program immune within months.
00:16:00.585 --> 00:16:04.222
If no action was taken
00:16:04.689 --> 00:16:05.957
Now, no action could be taken in the future.
00:16:05.957 --> 00:16:08.527
And then they could target america.
00:16:08.527 --> 00:16:10.729
They could blackmail america.
00:16:10.729 --> 00:16:12.397
They could threaten us and threaten everyone in between.
00:16:12.397 --> 00:16:15.934
So action had to be taken.
00:16:15.934 --> 00:16:18.036
Well, it seems that for some people, they have to see
00:16:19.104 --> 00:16:21.573
A bomb land in their front yard before they do something.
00:16:21.573 --> 00:16:24.643
Am i right about that? and.
00:16:24.643 --> 00:16:27.746
Yeah. yeah.
00:16:27.746 --> 00:16:28.547
Exactly. correct.
00:16:28.547 --> 00:16:30.449
And you see that iran never stopped developing
00:16:30.449 --> 00:16:33.585
Their missiles.
00:16:33.585 --> 00:16:34.686
Never stop investing in terrorism,
00:16:34.686 --> 00:16:37.089
Even after the midnight hammer
00:16:37.089 --> 00:16:38.757
Operation, that their nuclear capabilities were destroyed.
00:16:38.757 --> 00:16:42.727
You know, what they did immediately was fortified
00:16:42.727 --> 00:16:45.997
Their bunkers, like, doubled down
00:16:45.997 --> 00:16:49.234
On the investment and preparing for the next round of attacks.
00:16:49.234 --> 00:16:53.572
And they kept threatening to block the strait of commerce.
00:16:53.572 --> 00:16:57.008
It's very important to understand this is a narrow
00:16:57.008 --> 00:17:00.312
Passage of water in which 20% of the world's
00:17:00.312 --> 00:17:04.483
Oil and natural gas goes through every single day.
00:17:04.483 --> 00:17:08.420
So if you stop this narrow water, you stop the flow of oil.
00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:12.958
Basically, the gas prices go up immediately.
00:17:12.958 --> 00:17:15.994
And they have the gas prices went up 7.5% already,
00:17:15.994 --> 00:17:20.999
Just because the iranians said that they closed this strait
00:17:20.999 --> 00:17:24.836
Of hormuz, which they actually didn't,
00:17:24.836 --> 00:17:27.272
Because as you said, they don't have much navy left.
00:17:27.272 --> 00:17:30.809
So that's what they try to do.
00:17:30.809 --> 00:17:32.777
They try to create
00:17:32.777 --> 00:17:35.981
Destruction.
00:17:36.314 --> 00:17:37.315
If it's to the economy, if it's through fear,
00:17:37.315 --> 00:17:40.218
And if it's to actual war, and above all,
00:17:40.218 --> 00:17:43.722
If it's to the like, attacking their own people inside iran.
00:17:43.722 --> 00:17:48.026
This is the number one
00:17:48.026 --> 00:17:49.427
Topic that i think we should be focusing on in our prayers,
00:17:49.427 --> 00:17:53.465
To pray for the people of iran
00:17:53.465 --> 00:17:55.133
To get rid of this tyrannical regime,
00:17:55.133 --> 00:17:57.802
If they have a chance to choose a new future.
00:17:57.802 --> 00:18:00.672
Do you think they're organized enough
00:18:00.672 --> 00:18:02.040
And structured enough to actually make that happen?
00:18:02.040 --> 00:18:05.911
So i think that they have been preparing for a long time.
00:18:05.911 --> 00:18:09.948
But the sad part that is that the ayatollah regime
00:18:09.948 --> 00:18:14.686
And the irgc and the besieged forces,
00:18:14.686 --> 00:18:17.389
Which are kind of like the secret police in iran,
00:18:17.389 --> 00:18:20.692
Have been structured and preparing for this moment
00:18:20.692 --> 00:18:23.562
For many, many years.
00:18:23.562 --> 00:18:25.430
And when a regime is threatened with an existential threat
00:18:25.430 --> 00:18:30.368
And with regime change, what they usually do
00:18:30.368 --> 00:18:33.972
Is they double down and crack down on their own population.
00:18:33.972 --> 00:18:38.977
So i think and what i'm seeing and hearing
00:18:38.977 --> 00:18:42.948
Is that the united states and also israel,
00:18:42.948 --> 00:18:45.016
According to foreign reports,
00:18:45.016 --> 00:18:46.685
Already have some boots on the ground.
00:18:46.685 --> 00:18:48.820
And i hope
00:18:48.820 --> 00:18:50.055
That they will also empower the locals, the iranian people,
00:18:50.055 --> 00:18:53.358
To take action to take control of their country.
00:18:53.358 --> 00:18:57.796
And this is part of the steps that are taking place.
00:18:57.796 --> 00:19:01.132
Just today,
00:19:01.132 --> 00:19:02.267
Israel destroyed the national communications
00:19:02.267 --> 00:19:06.238
Center, basically the national broadcaster
00:19:06.238 --> 00:19:09.241
Of the ayatollah regime.
00:19:09.241 --> 00:19:10.508
This is like the spearhead of creating lies, propaganda
00:19:10.508 --> 00:19:14.479
And fear to the people of iran.
00:19:14.479 --> 00:19:16.314
And it was destroyed.
00:19:16.314 --> 00:19:17.682
So after tackling all the leadership of iran,
00:19:17.682 --> 00:19:22.053
All the anti rocket defensive systems, the production
00:19:22.053 --> 00:19:25.824
Of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons,
00:19:25.824 --> 00:19:29.894
Now the attacks of the israelis and the americans
00:19:29.894 --> 00:19:33.732
Are targeting government symbols of the regime.
00:19:33.732 --> 00:19:37.969
Today, in this morning, there was an assembly of around
00:19:37.969 --> 00:19:41.539
40 clicks that were supposed to decide who will be
00:19:41.539 --> 00:19:45.010
The next leader to replace the ayatollah ali khamenei.
00:19:45.010 --> 00:19:49.381
And you know what?
00:19:49.381 --> 00:19:50.448
The intelligence of the cia
00:19:50.448 --> 00:19:52.050
And the mossad were able to pinpoint at this super,
00:19:52.050 --> 00:19:55.387
Super secretive location in a deep bunker in iran
00:19:55.387 --> 00:19:59.891
And take all of them out in a strike.
00:19:59.891 --> 00:20:02.661
So that's just amazing.
00:20:02.661 --> 00:20:04.529
And i think that very soon is the time, even now, for
00:20:04.529 --> 00:20:07.999
The iranian people to be bolder, to go to the streets
00:20:07.999 --> 00:20:11.236
And to march and take back their country.
00:20:11.236 --> 00:20:13.505
And we are seeing them celebrating,
00:20:13.505 --> 00:20:15.173
Calling the names of donald trump
00:20:15.173 --> 00:20:17.008
And prime minister netanyahu,
00:20:17.008 --> 00:20:18.743
Celebrating the fact that somebody around
00:20:18.743 --> 00:20:21.813
The world is helping them to get rid of this regime,
00:20:21.813 --> 00:20:25.116
Took their lives for more than 40 years.
00:20:25.116 --> 00:20:30.055
Well,
00:20:30.288 --> 00:20:31.423
You've been a whole lot closer to iran and its proxies.
00:20:31.423 --> 00:20:33.658
But iran has also directly or indirectly attacked
00:20:33.658 --> 00:20:36.594
The united states 44 times since 1979.
00:20:36.594 --> 00:20:40.265
We're an ocean away.
00:20:40.732 --> 00:20:41.966
But aside from a few lawmakers who disagree with everything,
00:20:41.966 --> 00:20:45.236
The majority of americans are grateful
00:20:45.236 --> 00:20:47.172
To you and your colleagues and are even happier to know
00:20:47.172 --> 00:20:50.342
That soon you and your family will be finally living in peace,
00:20:50.342 --> 00:20:54.245
And you begin to think about what that future will feel like.
00:20:54.245 --> 00:20:57.716
Wow, that would be great.
00:20:58.283 --> 00:21:00.051
You know, i wish that i would be able to travel with my family
00:21:00.051 --> 00:21:04.789
To tehran to check out this beautiful country in iran.
00:21:04.789 --> 00:21:09.160
That would be amazing.
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:10.595
You know, there are many israelis
00:21:10.595 --> 00:21:11.963
That have persian descent or that have families
00:21:11.963 --> 00:21:16.868
That had to leave there when this regime changed.
00:21:16.868 --> 00:21:20.538
And this can be just amazing.
00:21:20.538 --> 00:21:23.041
Also, i would wish to visit lebanon
00:21:23.041 --> 00:21:24.976
Or would wish to visit syria.
00:21:24.976 --> 00:21:26.678
You know,
00:21:26.678 --> 00:21:27.512
It would be amazing to have peace
00:21:27.512 --> 00:21:28.980
With all the neighbors around us.
00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:30.782
So i'm an optimistic.
00:21:30.782 --> 00:21:32.317
I believe that god can make it happen.
00:21:32.317 --> 00:21:34.519
He sure did amazing miracles in the past two years that
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.056
Can fill a lifetime.
00:21:38.056 --> 00:21:39.958
So i can't wait to see what he has stored,
00:21:39.958 --> 00:21:43.895
You know, for the future.
00:21:43.895 --> 00:21:45.697
We are here.
00:21:45.697 --> 00:21:46.631
Thank you for spending time with us today.
00:21:46.631 --> 00:21:48.600
Stay safe. we'll be back in touch soon,
00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:51.302
And i'll be back in a
00:21:51.803 --> 00:21:52.737
Moment with a final note.
00:21:52.737 --> 00:22:00.999
Thank you for choosing to spend
00:22:00.999 --> 00:22:02.448
A few moments of your day with us.
00:22:02.448 --> 00:22:04.450
God is moving in the earth.
00:22:04.450 --> 00:22:06.318
It's important to remember
00:22:06.318 --> 00:22:07.787
When we hear so many negative messages.
00:22:07.787 --> 00:22:09.822
There is reason for hope.
00:22:09.822 --> 00:22:11.223
Let's keep our heads lifted up
00:22:11.223 --> 00:22:12.558
And our prayers rising to the heavens.
00:22:12.558 --> 00:22:14.794
Thank you.
00:22:14.794 --> 00:22:15.394
God bless you.
00:22:15.394 --> 00:22:15.394
